welcome!
Hey! My name is Nick Young, and this is where I collect the things I write and share the things I create.
I'm interested in computers and mathematics broadly, but with a focus on databases, cryptography, and their intersection. I studied math and computer science at Brown University, where I helped build and run courses on databases and applied cryptography.
I work on query optimization at Databricks. Previously, I've worked on document databases at Stripe and developer experience at Bloomberg.
On the side, I blunder queens, lift objects, learn languages, mix drinks, play google maps, build keyboards, take photos, and play badminton. Talk to me about any of those things.
